So in today’s IBPS SO Prelims Exam 2017, the Reasoning section was the easiest and will be the scoring section and the english section was as usual in a different league with that section testing all the candidates to the core by introducing new pattern questions like that of other exams.

The General awareness section for the Law Officer Posts and Rajabhasa Adhikari was easier. Most of the questions were from the recent current affairs section and a candidate who have studied the current affairs part of recent events would have attempted more number of questions. Static GK and Banking awareness questions accounted for half the number of questions in total and that too were asked from the recent events. So this section will be the score booster for the candidates.

The English section will decide the cutoff marks of the IBPS SO Prelims Exam 2017 and we hope many aspirants have fared well in the IBPS SO Prelims Exam 2017.
